The 2024 MTV VMAs are finally here to close out the summer, and the full list of nominees has arrived. Leading this year's nominations is none other than Taylor Swift — with a whopping 12 nods, the most of the night.
The MTV Video Music Awards will be held at the UBS Arena in New York tonight, September 11, 2024. (The previous date was September 10, but was moved due to the U.S. presidential debate.)
The show, which will be broadcast live around the world starting at 8 p.m. ET, will celebrate the most innovative and exciting musicians and their visuals across 15 gender-neutral categories. Fans were able to vote for their favorite artists and favorite music videos starting in mid-August; but it isn't too late to cast your ballot, as voting for Best New Artist and the social categories will remain active into the show's broadcast. (Vote by visiting vote.mtv.com and vote for social categories on @MTV's Instagram Story.)
